Unprecedented demand for tickets! Tickets for La bohème have been flying off the shelves! They are in such demand, that if you haven’t bought them already, by the time you read this, you’ll probably be too late. But don’t let that put you off, you really mustn’t miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see Le Cid with its superb international cast. Ticket availability at the matinée is tight, but at the moment, seats can be bought for all performances of Le Cid. However, with some excellent press coverage and the announcement of our stellar cast - plus the fact that this is the British stage première of Massenet’s great epic - those seats won’t hang around for long.

Dorset Opera Outreach: Opera-in-Education Through the great generosity of Patron, Mrs Kathryn Ballisat, Dorset Opera will be able to undertake another Opera Outreach project in early July. Masterminded by DO board member and skilled animateur, Lynsey Docherty, this will take the joys of opera into St Edward’s School in Poole and will involve a team of four professionals working with students from the School over a period of five days. Taking Puccini’s La bohème as the theme, the students will deconstruct the opera and create their own version - which will include composing new music and developing a revised storyline that is more relevant to them and to the 21st century. The culmination of the project will see a performance of their creation for their peers, parents, staff and hopefully, for a few Dorset Opera supporters on the afternoon of Friday 6 July. It is expected that some of the St Edwards’ schoolchildren will be joining us at the Festival this year either as members of the chorus or the stage crew. All those who take part will be offered the opportunity to come to one of our closed dress rehearsals or to one of the actual performances. Our contact with St Edwards was afforded through one of the music teachers at the School, Camilla Foster-Mitchell, who was a member of the Dorset Opera chorus for several years. Director of Music, Justin Sloan, thinks the whole project ‘Sounds amazing!’ If you would like to attend the performance on 6 July, please let us know immediately, as numbers and access to the school will be restricted.
